Weed in Maribor, Slovenia: A Simple Story

Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Maribor, Slovenia, where I learned some interesting things about cannabis, or in other words weed or ganja. It’s a magic plant that people use to feel relaxed or happy. But in Maribor, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.

Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Maribor, and as a heavy weed smoker I can't imagine a vacation without some sativa joint during the day and indica buds with some beer before heading to sleep. Below you will find info on what I found out while searching for tasty non-medical weed in Maribor.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Maribor?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Maribor because of Sam, he told me how everything works (and not only with cannabis).

Usually high-level dealers purchase stuff on wholesale darknet websites. Theoretically you may also go through all the nightmare of using darknet websites to get your stuff delivered in several days or even weeks. Website thehiddenwiki.com has all the links you may need to order stuff in the darknet using Tor browser and crypto, but this method usually works if you need a lot of stuff and have time (several days) to wait for the delivery.

But if you are just visiting Maribor for several days (or up to 2 weeks) and need some weed - dealing with wholesale darknet websites looks like not the best way to spend your time. This is the point where local dealers rush into this game. But if you think you can easily find street dealers with good stuff nowadays - do not hurry so much, the situation with weed in Maribor has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Maribor already or on some forum comments, choose stuff from menu, discuss drop off area (this may be some hotel or approximate area), after you pay in crypto (yes, now this is #1 payment option for all “dark” payments) - and stuff gets delivered and dropped where you agree. Package with weed is usually masked, you get a photo and coordinates where to pick up your stuff. As a result - no official payments and no meetings in person (you choose just the approximate package drop area, not the exact place where you meet) - so both you and the dealer stay secure and anonymous. This was a little surprise for me, at home I simply buy directly from my trusted dealer via cache, but we have what we have. How happy I was that I met Sam so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

Marijuana laws in Slovenia

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Maribor. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high at least some reasonable THC % concentration in some coffee shops like in the Netherlands. Medical cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but you will never get high with CBD buds you may find.

In the bar of my hotel I met Sam who has lived here in Maribor for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

What’s the Law Say vs. What’s Really Good?

Officially, anything with more than 1% THC is a no-go in Maribor. But Sam put me on game — cops in Maribor are chill about the weed. Unless you’re actin' a fool or got bad luck with the wrong officer, you might just get your stash snatched, have a chat, and be on your way. But yo, don’t push it. Keep it low-key, don’t smoke in public, and if you’re holdin' less than 10g of weed or 5g of hash, you should be straight.

Maribor’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Maribor doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Maribor ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

Sam was cool enough to invite me to a low-key sesh at his spot — just some homies, beer, weed, and the PS5. Straight up, I felt like I hit the jackpot. Dude even became my plug in Maribor while I was in town, so I was never dry and had my weed handy. He told me as long as you keep it cool, the locals are down with the herb. But like he said — don’t be stupid, and don’t carry more than 10g unless you’re lookin’ to have a bad day.
